About the Role
Are you ready to lead the engineering expertise behind some of the UK's most important renewable energy projects? As Project Engineering Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in delivering onshore wind developments, guiding multidisciplinary teams, and ensuring projects are designed, built, and commissioned safely and successfully.
At EDF Power Solutions, we’re delivering an Electric UK and Ireland. Your leadership will help shape the future of clean energy, coordinating engineering activities across a portfolio of projects and supporting the transition to a net‑zero future.
The Opportunity
Our Onshore Delivery Engineering team within the Central Technical Organisation (CTO) provides engineering delivery predominantly across onshore wind projects throughout the UK and Ireland from early‑stage development and financing through construction, commissioning and handover to operations. As Project Engineering Manager, you’ll lead the engineering delivery of renewable energy projects across our onshore wind portfolio, ensuring multidisciplinary teams work together and influence critical design decisions to deliver safe, high‑quality, and commercially successful outcomes. You’ll have the opportunity to lead and develop a talented team of Project Engineers.
